nvme_get_fe...ost_mem_buf2(2)

✨ nvme_get_features_host_mem_buf2 ✨

okay bestie, we're in the libnvme API manual and this one is a lil function called nvme_get_features_host_mem_buf2 β€” it literally just gets the host memory buffer feature. that's the whole vibe. it's giving "ask the drive politely for its HMB tea" πŸ«–πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int nvme_get_features_host_mem_buf2 (int fd , enum nvme_get_features_sel
sel , struct nvme_host_mem_buf_attrs *attrs , __u32 *result );

like yes, four args, she's got range πŸ’–


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • fd β€” the file descriptor of your nvme device. your lil ticket to the drive, no cap 🎫
  • sel β€” which type of attribute to return, fr fr. check enum nvme_get_features_sel for the deets πŸ‘€
  • attrs β€” a buffer where the returned Host Memory Buffer Attributes land. she holds the goods 🧺✨
  • result β€” the command completion result from CQE dword0. yep, it's a __u32 * and it's iconic πŸ‘‘

πŸ’« RETURN πŸ’«

so here's the tea: you get the nvme command status if a response was received β€” peep enum nvme_status_field for that whole situation β€” or you get -1 with errno set otherwise 😭

not me getting -1… bestie check errno, that's where the lore is πŸ™ˆ
